Montreal-based director and screenwriter Marc-Antoine Lemire approaches cinema as a tool for accessing a certain freedom. He is driven by his passion for complex characters and by the desire to generate emotion through their unique point of view. His latest short film, PRE-DRINK, has screened at around a hundred festivals and won several awards, including Best Canadian Short Film at TIFF in 2017. MISTRAL SPATIAL is his first feature film, which he also self-produced. Deliberately crafted in a marginal, DIY spirit, the film’s ambition lies in a desire to explore the medium and to create uncompromising cinema.
